The Children
Written by Lucy Kirkwood. Directed by Matthew Parent.
In the wake of a nuclear disaster, two retired nuclear scientists receive a visit from a former colleague, asking them to make a life-altering decision. Award-winning playwright Lucy Kirkwood delves into the intersection of personal responsibility and global catastrophe, examining how the actions of one generation impact those that follow.
Don’t miss this witty, riveting and at times truly funny exploration of our responsibility to each other—and the planet. New Hampshire Premiere.
